They are in the Gibson Factory showing how the guitar is made.

The show is called "Some Assembly Required" .


I would of thought Gibson used a Strobe Tuner rather than a Chromatic...

You know, I don't recall Martin using Strobe Tuners to set up anything there either... in fact they didn't even have actual acoustic amps; just cheap Peavey's to test out the Piezo-equipped ones.

I saw that. That's the Musician's Friend/Guitar Center line, they won't be in tune for long, so they save time/money on QA and tuning.

I just kept thinking - I hope they rework all those that the non-pro touched, or at least checked them really close. I can't get used to the yellow classic inlays either.

Did they show how they put the speed holes in under the maple caps? I missed the first bit up to where they were moving the bodies to where they put the neck on.

Pretty cool to see "real folks" working on them.
